Not always a virtual land of quirky viral videos, blooper reels, cute puppies, and adorable kittens, YouTube is often a forum for hate, a safe haven for bigotry.

In the wake of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin's unjustifiable death, YouTube has become an outlet for angry folks to spew hatred. Florida City's Zoeja Lajan Jean is the latest.

The Haitian-born rapper's "All Black in My Hoodie" is a six-and-a-half minute-long protest song that encourages African Americans to start a racially charged "riot."

"Fuck all that bullshit, protest with justice/I feel like the Black Panthers, let's start a riot ... If we don't do shit, at least that cracker/Six months later, they're gonna kill another brother."

Everyone with a conscience and heart knows that Martin's death was unnecessary. And despite what his lawyers will argue, George Zimmerman's motives were clearly deeper than a commitment to his Neighborhood Watch program.

Inexplicably, race remains the elephant in American society's room. And disturbingly, YouTube is often a peek inside.

The following comments appear on Zoeja Lajan Jean's "All Black in my Hoodie" YouTube post; they're as racially tinged as the rapper's violent track is counterproductive to the fight against racial inequality.
